5. Connection of the arm cable

The tonearm cable supplied is designed to the highest specification, with a
double-balanced, shielded cable and 4N OFC/6N. This cancels potential difference
between right channel and left channel giving the best possible transmission of the
signal.

Insert the 5-pin plug of the tonearm cable into the output connector of the tonearm
and connect the RCA plugs of the tonearm cable to the input of the phono stage
or the pre-amplifier.

6. Alignment and operation

Please check and adjust the each part according to the following procedures
before fixing the cartridge to the headshell.

6-1. Damper plate check
Very strong lines of flux run in the gap between the damper magnets. An eddy
current produced when the damper plate passes through this gap acts as a
dynamic damper to reduce arm resonance.

Rotate the main arm right and left gently
and check that the main arm rotates
smoothly while the damper plate passes
through the gap without touching with
damper magnets.

We carefully assembled the damper
plate to rotate smoothly, if there is
any physical contact between plate
and magnets at all, please return the tonearm for repair to your local dealer or
Dynavector distributor as this could seriously damage your cartridge.

6-2. Mounting the cartridge
a) Mount the cartridge onto the headshell supplied. Use good quality M2.5 or M2.6
screws supplied by the cartridge manufacturer and do not tighten them fully before
overhang alignment has been completed. The connection of the leads should be
done according to the instruction manual of the cartridge.
